Andrea Olson, Project Manager at Amenta Emma Architects

How many years have you been in your current field? 12 years

What are you planning to do differently in 2020 to have a positive impact on your career? After a career change from accounting to design, I worked in environments focused primarily on space planning, programming and interior architecture. This led me to pursue NCIDQ certification and registration as an interior designer. My current role demands a more holistic approach and understanding to planning, design and construction and has motivated me to pursue architectural licensure. My ambitious plan is to complete all six sections of the ARE in the next six months so that 2020 *fingers crossed* will be the year I add registered architect to my achievements.
